Leaving Horseshoe Bay As we leave Horseshoe Bay, the contrasts in materials and shapes (rusted steel and treated wood) of the pier are compelling.

Ferry wake A polarizing filter knocks out reflections from the water, revealing the deep rich blues and greens that are usually hidden.

Coins for wishing Like coins tossed into a well for luck, I saw these lying on the bottom of a shelf holding a light fixture on the front of the ferry.

Shelter roof Light and patterns seen in an industrial setting.

Deck railing On a recent trip to Sechelt I practised my light painting - photography. This curving perspective was too pleasing in form and colour contrast to resist.

Autumn grasses Wind blown reeds hang on tenaciously in the cracks in the near solid granite coastline.

Barnacles and Hermits Barnacles and tiny hermit crabs. Shot through water using a polarizing filter makes the water disappear, but the effect of looking through a denser than air medium in clearly visible.

Shore colours Here the polarizing filter removed most of the reflected light, allowing the rich colours of the shoreline to show through vividly.

Buried rust Almost completely covered by a thick thatch of leaves the contrasting colours of this old, well rusted chain caught my eye.

Arbutus shades The bark of the Arbutus tree has fascinated me since my first trip to islands in the Georgia Strait - St., Mary's Lake on Salt Spring in 1958.

First evening At the end of the first day, my birthday, we were treated to a stunning sunset.

Island in frame A large sundeck hung over the granite shoreline, offering full 180 degree views all along this amazing shoreline.

Cabin 1 The deck on cabin 1, originally built in the 1950s, making this one of the original cabins built in this area.

Catch of the Day The view from the sundeck just in front of our cabin.

Off Tuwanek Near the end of the road on the inland side of Porpoise Bay lies Tuwanek. And just off the shore this pristine island sat in the middle of a truly magical Sunshine Coast moment.

Grey Creek I made use of a neutral density filter to knock up the exposure time to 3 seconds (ƒ/22 ISO 200) so that the motion of the water is conveyed as a blur.

The Hook Where the heart lies. Sandy Hook.

Hook decor Here again, the contrasts between the organic and the non-organic, as well as the contrasts within the non-organic (chain and stone) spoke loudly to me.

Labyrinth The labyrinth at St. Hilda's, Sechelt

Water slide Nature and Structure. Red and Green.

Church in the woods Hanging from a tree truck in the old cemetery beside St. Hilda's church, built in the 1930s.

End caps Heading along Highway 101 back to Langdale, I can't pass this by and pull a U-turn to go back and play with the colours and textures.
